Daniel Suarez has quietly had a very difficult third season for Trackhouse Racing. He sits 18th in the playoff standings 20 points below the cut-line, with no wins and eight finishes outside of the top-20 in the last 11 races. By contrast, his teammate Ross Chastain currently leads the points standings despite not winning a race yet.
NASCAR fans on Reddit discussed what has gone into the Suarez’s difficult season. Is it all down to luck, or is it down to driver performance?

Daniel Suarez has had a difficult season, and he is far from a lock for the Playoffs this year. However, Trackhouse as a team has failed to win a race yet this season as well. Regardless of what it is, Suarez needs to figure something out with the Playoffs coming up.
